text_original: Few realize that the nursery tale of Cock Robin partakes of the nature of an inquest. In the first line, "Who killed Cock Robin?" we are informed as to the crime and the victim. This is immediately fol  lowed by the complete confession of the criminal and the disclosure of the weapon: EVIDENCE 257 ''I," said the sparrow, ''With my bow and arrow; I yiled Cock Robin" This is a frank enough confession, and doubtless true; but even a confession must have corroborative witness, and an eye witness, if possible.
